[Intro]
3
Girl, this is craziness
4
Let me tell you
5
[Verse 1: Janelle Monae]
6
I can't believe all of the things they say about me
7
Walk in the room they throwing shade left to right
8
They be like, "Ooh, she serving face"
9
And I just tell 'em cut me up and get down
10
They call us dirty 'cuz we break all your rules down
11
And we just came to act a fool, is that all right?
12
(Girl, that's alright)
13
They be like, "Ooh, let them eat cake."
14
But we eat wings and throw them bones on the ground
15
[Pre-Chorus]
16
Am I a freak for dancing around?
17
Am I a freak for getting down?
18
I'm coming up, don't cut me down
19
Yeah I wanna be, wanna be
20
[Verse 2]
21
Is it peculiar that she twerk in the mirror?
22
And am I weird to dance alone late at night?
23
And is it true we're all insane?
24
And I just tell 'em, "No we ain't" and get down
25
I heard this life is just a play with no rehearsal
26
I wonder will this be my final act tonight
27
And tell me what's the price of fame?
28
Am I a sinner with my skirt on the ground?
29
[Hook]
30
Am I a freak for dancing around?
31
Am I a freak for getting down?
32
I'm coming up, don't cut me down
33
Yeah I wanna be
34
[Verse 3]
35
Hey brother can you save my soul from the devil?
36
Say is it weird to like the way she wear her tights?
37
And is it rude to wear my shades?
38
Am I a freak because I love watching Mary? (Maybe)
39
Hey sister am I good enough for your heaven?
40
Say will your God accept me in my black and white?
41
Will he approve the way I'm made?
42
Or should I reprogram the programming and get down?
43
[Hook]
44
[Spoken Word]
45
Even if it makes others uncomfortable
46
I wanna love who I am
47
Even if it makes other uncomfortable
48
I will love who I am
49
[Breakdown: Erykah Badu]
50
Dance 'til the break of dawn
51
Don't mean a thing, so duh
52
I can't take it no more
53
Baby, we in tuxedo groove
54
Monae and E. Badu
55
Crazy in the black and white
56
We got the drums so tight
57
Baby, here comes the freedom song
58
Too strong we moving on
59
Baby there's melody
60
Show you another way
61
This joints for fight unknown
62
Come home and sing your song
63
But you gotta testify
64
Because the booty don't lie
65
No, no, the booty don't lie
66
Oh no, the booty don't lie
67
[Verse 4: Janelle Monae]
68
Yeah
69
Yeah, let's flip it
70
I don't think they understand what I'm trying to say
71
I asked a question like this
72
"Are we a lost generation of our people?
73
Add us to equations but they'll never make us equal.
74
She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel.
75
So why ain't the stealing of my rights made illegal?
76
They keep us underground working hard for the greedy,
77
But when it's time pay they turn around and call us needy.
78
My crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti
79
Gimme back my pyramid, I'm trying to free Kansas City.
80
Mixing masterminds like your name Bernie Grundman.
81
Well I'm gonna keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman
82
You can take my wings but I'm still goin' fly
83
And even when you edit me the booty don't lie
84
Yeah, keep singing and I'mma keep writing songs
85
I'm tired of Marvin asking me, "What's Going On?
86
March to the streets 'cuz I'm willing and I'm able
87
Categorize me, I defy every label
88
And while you're selling dope, we're gonna keep selling hope
89
We rising up now, you gotta deal you gotta cope
90
Will you be electric sheep?
91
Electric ladies, will you sleep?
92
Or will you preach?"
